Michael Fassbender plays a replicant in Ridley Scott's Prometheus.

Ridley Scott’s Prometheus left things open ended. Our surviving protagonists — one of them arguably an antagonist — took a ship and went off in search of new, fun adventures.

I  hope I didn’t spoil anything for you. If I did — oh god, I’m so sorry! Please stop reading and go watch the movie. It’s on Blu-ray and it’s a gorgeously shot film.

Last night I watched Star Wars: The Force Awakens in theaters yet again. Today, I stumbled onto the fact that David Prowse, the actor who wore the Darth Vader suit in the original trilogy, posted something very interesting on his Facebook.

You watched The Force Awakens, right? If not — what the heck are you doing? Go see it right now! A spoiler is on the horizon; in just the next paragraph.

It surprises me. Suicide Squad is winning me over. The biggest issue I had — ironically — is Jared Leto’s Joker. Nevertheless, the film looks fun. But it might be just because of the song choice for the trailer. Maybe.

blackpantherAmongst the craziness of a certain little movie in theaters, I went and saw the film Creed. Nearly everything about it is incredible; the likable characters, the emotional weight behind every scene, and the fantastic camera work. It quickly became one of my top movies of 2015. Suffice to say, I was very excited to hear that the man behind Creed will direct Marvel’s Black Panther.

‘Star Wars’ Vinyl

Interested in ‘The Big Short’

By |2024-12-04T17:08:50-08:00November 15th, 2015|

thebigshortUsually I don’t read (or even write for the matter) reviews. For the past couple years I preferred going in blind to a movie – or at least as much as possible.
